Anyone know when the last 2 2nd hand B737-800 are due to join the fleet? And where they have been acquired from?
And any news on G-JZBY? (It's been sitting at Prague since 30th August 23)

I think two more have been acquired, but details not yet public.
BY still in Prague - some rumours circulating that this may not materialise.

We’re being treated to G-LSAC on the way back from Fuerteventura to Manchester operating LS910 today. The booked 738 looked like it was swapped to another flight with G-DRTR positioning down to LGW to operate TFS flight. Guessing another 738 went tech…or I might be drawing false conclusions 😂
Anyway, I’m happy with a 757 however it came about! My favourite! 😍

Jet2 have had a winter seasonal base at Gatwick for about three years now, At peak times three or four aircraft can be present (especially at weekends) but usually at least two.
The airline operates cruise charters, ski charter flights and Christmas flights to Lapland. These flights are for mostly for operators other than Jet2.
The programme usually ends at the end of March/early April and resumes again late October/early November.

I know they've no operation of their at LGW although there has been speculation as to whether they might in future. As things look there now with slot constraints and delays I'd have though they need it like a hole in the head!!
It was TFS flights yesterday that caught my attention, as above probably associated with cruises.

It would now be difficult for Jet2 to have a sizeable base at Gatwick. Slots are in high demand especially as they become even rarer at Heathrow. Perhaps when the Northern Runway comes into routine use (If approved) a base may be possible towards
the end of the decade. Only other possibility would be an airline selling slots or moving out. Neither possibility seems obvious at the moment.

Must be a reason why BY hasn't entered the fleet yet despite being registered for ages.

I'm hearing HM hit a bird on departure from LBA this morning bound for Arrecife.
Climbed to 5,000ft and then circled around LBA for 30 minutes before heading to Manchester for a landing where it was met by emergency crews.
